One

The journey is long and seemingly endless.

Shu'er hopes very much that this road will never be exhausted, and she will never reach the return to Hui.

Qingmei, the maid on the side, was depressed all day long, but Shu'er forced a smile to comfort her: "With me with you, what are you unhappy about." ”

Qingmei is a fatherless and motherless orphan, since she was a child, she was sold to the palace by an unscrupulous aunt as a maid, Shu'er treated her like a sister, for more than ten years, get along day and night, and rely on each other.

Qingmei is not worried about herself, she is worried about Miss.

The young lady of the golden branches and jade leaves, once a concubine, has to marry a bad old man, she is really indignant.

Shu'er lifted the curtain and peeked out of the car.

The team walked in a circle, front and back, left and right, all of them were guards.

The princess's carriage was at the front, Rong Lan's carriage was in the center, and Shu'er's carriage was at the end.

Looking at it, she didn't find the person she was looking for.

Gradually, it got dark, and the procession stopped at a post station.

This will be the last post station in Datang, after this, and then there, there is a sparsely populated and mountainous no-man's land.

Shu'er and Qingmei supported each other, got out of the car, and saw Chu Qingfu at a glance.

He was tethering his horse at the gate of the inn.

As Shu'er walked past him, he could clearly see her expression.

After dinner, Shu'er was about to rest early, and Rong Lan came again.

Rong Lan is the eldest daughter of Fugu Huai'en, who was originally just the daughter of an ordinary general, but now she has become a noble county lord, and she can't help but be a little excited. Along the way, almost every night before going to bed, I had to come to talk to Shu'er for a while.

The originally unattainable lord Shu'er is now on an equal footing with herself, and Rong Lan is indescribably happy in her heart. There is another point that is even more worthy of showing off in front of Shu'er, that is, what Rong Lan wants to marry is the young son of the Khan, who is the main house, and Shu'er is just the wife of the old Khan.

Rong Lan's pride is not unreasonable.

Mei, it's just a half-slave and half-concubine to marry, if you are not favored, even a slave is not as good.

Rong Lan looked at Shu'er's beautiful face, she was really happy.

A few months ago, the queen was a thousand years old, and the women of the court entered the palace one after another to pay homage to the queen, and most of them brought their daughters with them. Bringing a woman into the palace has another deep meaning, because there are still several princes who have never made concubines, hoping to take this opportunity to ask for a fortune in front of the queen.

Rong Lan followed her mother to meet the queen, full of ambition, thinking that with her outstanding beauty, she would definitely attract the queen's attention.

At this moment, Shu'er came with Princess Rong, and as soon as she appeared, she immediately overshadowed Rong Lan's brilliance and attracted all eyes.

The queen has always loved Shu'er, who has no mother, and took Shu'er's hand, asking for warmth in the cold, but she didn't even look at Rong Lan.

Since then, Rong Lan has remembered this Shu'er who is loved by thousands of people.

Unexpectedly, today, she will be reduced to the point of being a married woman, how can Rong Lan let go of the opportunity to show off her happiness in front of her?

Rong Lan smiled and said, "Did you go to bed so early?" After a day of driving, I didn't move my muscles and bones. ”

Shu'er said lightly: "Shu'er is not as good as my sister, my sister was born in the door, her body is strong, and she can withstand the hardships of wind and frost." Shu'er is very tired and just wants to rest early. ”

This sentence seemed a little ironic to Rong Lan's ears.

Rong Lan smiled and said: "As a sister, she is naturally not as good as her sister's golden branches and jade leaves, and her body is delicate and expensive. It's just that when it comes to Hui, I don't know whether to call you sister or call you little lady. ”

Qingmei was not angry on the side, and couldn't help but say: "Even if it is Huifu, Miss is also the elder of the county lord of Ronglan, and the county lord should respect a little." ”

Rong Lan glanced at Qingmei, continued to maintain a perfect smile, and said: "Naturally, you have to respect, even if you are a concubine, you are also a dignified county lord." ”

Qingmei wanted to say something more, but Shu'er stopped her.

Rong Lan looked smug and said, "Since my sister is going to sleep, my sister won't bother." He turned around and walked away with his slender waist.

Qingmei was so angry that she wanted to cry out and said, "The villain has a will." This hasn't come back yet, so I bullied Miss like this, and I don't know how to be angry in the future. ”

Shu'er was silent for a while, and after a while, she said, "Go outside and take a look, the guard who tied the horse is not there." If so, call him to me. ”

Qingmei said: "Is that the one who was hit by you?" ”

Shu'er nodded.

The post house is not big, and Qingmei didn't go far before she saw Chu Qingfu talking to the guards outside the corridor.

When Chu Qingfu was about to leave, Qingmei stopped him.

Chu Qingfu saw that it was Shu'er's maid, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked over.

Qingmei whispered: "The county wants to see you." You come with me. ”

Chu Qingfu became excited in his heart. She wants to see him?

Qingmei pushed open the door and stood guard at the door. Chu Qingfu walked in nervously.

I saw Shu'er looking at him with a solemn face, not at all as playful and cute as when I first met.

Chu Qingfu asked, "I don't know what the county lord wants me to order?" ”

Shu'er approached him quietly, slowly. Chu Qingfu was so nervous that sweat oozed from his head.

Shu'er made up her mind and finally said, "I want you to do something for me, do you dare?" ”

Chu Qingfu did not hesitate and said: "No matter what it is, the county lord orders, and he will never shirk it." ”

Shu'er said categorically: "I want you to take me away." ”

Chu Qingfu was taken aback, almost not believing his ears, he stammered: "You, what did you say?" ”

Shu'er was not afraid, greeted him, and said: "I was ashamed to say it, but the matter is urgent, and there is no room for delay, and I can't care about being shy." I want you to take me away, and I don't want to go and kiss. ”

Chu Qingfu finally believed that it was not his ears that had a problem, but that the woman he admired was going to elope with him.

He was surprised and delighted for a moment, and the world was full of happiness.

However, the brilliance only lingered on his face for a moment, and he finally said, "I can't do this." ”

Shu'er obviously saw the subtle expression on his face, but she didn't expect to answer like this, she asked suspiciously, "Why?" Don't you like me? ”

Chu Qingfu replied with difficulty: "I like it." But I can't take you away. ”

Shu'er's heart was cold, and she said, "I know, you don't dare." ”

Chu Qingfu was speechless. He really didn't dare. eloping with the county lord is to exterminate the clan. He still has white-haired parents at home, even though he is not afraid of life and death, but he can't sacrifice his father's life in exchange for his selfish love.

Shu'er took a few steps back, didn't look at him, and whispered, "You go." "He looked extremely tired.

Chu Qingfu's heart was like a knife, and he didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to exit the door.

Qingmei watched Chu Qingfu come out in a daze, looking depressed, so strange.

This night, Chu Qingfu was generally sad in the oil pot.

She is a deep boudoir woman, she does not think she is cheap, she will trust her for life, what courage it takes to make such a decisive decision like this, she has failed such a woman, it is really a sin.

If there is no family tired, Chu Qingfu is willing to wander the world with her, even if he dies for her a hundred times, he has no regrets.

Looking at her sad appearance, I can't wait to agree to her at all costs.

However, the father and mother of the family will immediately become prisoners.

How could he ignore it?

The heavens give a love, but it can't give the heavens and the earth forever. This kind of pain is destined to be unforgettable.

Two

Walk through the rolling hills and into the endless desert of yellow sand. Beyond this desert, over there, is the territory of Hui.

The desert climate, dry and windy, is not something that a woman can bear, and Shu'er soon fell ill.

Anyway, I don't want to go back, so I just die on the road.

Chu Qingfu's refusal made her lose her last hope, and the love in her heart collapsed.

It turned out that this was just a spring dream made up by myself, and when I woke up from the dream, my heart was broken.

Datang abandoned himself, his father abandoned him, and he also abandoned himself.

What is the joy of life and what is the fear of death.

Looking at the young lady's indifferent appearance, Qingmei was anxious.

The accompanying medical officer prepared the medicine and handed it to Qingmei from the small window of the traveling carriage.

Qingmei picked up the medicine bowl, brought it to Shu'er's lips, and said, "Please, you can drink it." ”

Shu'er took the bowl, didn't look at it, and threw it out of the small window.

When Chu Qingfu heard that Shu'er was sick, he couldn't rest assured, and followed the medical officer to the carriage to inquire about the news, and a bowl of soup and medicine was being poured on him.

Shu'er saw him, stunned for a moment, and then the curtain fell.

But even in this short moment, Chu Qingfu saw her resentful eyes.

She was blaming him. He knew it in his heart.

A thin curtain separates a pair of speechless men and women. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept up the heavy yellow sand, and without warning, the smoke and dust rolled up, obscuring the sky and the sun, and hitting the face like a knife.

The wind in the desert is terrible, rolling up yellow sand and can bury everything in an instant.

The procession of thousands of relatives was in chaos. People roll on their backs, and they roll everywhere with the wind.

The carriage was blown over by the wind, and Shu'er flipped out of the carriage and rolled out of it for a long time.

The bitter wind and sand immediately covered her body.

Shu'er was already sick and couldn't struggle at all.

It won't be long before the wind and sand will bury her. Shu'er is even a little happy, the essence is clean and clean, such an ending is actually not bad.

Suddenly, there was a heat in front of her, and a figure hugged her, like a ball, and rolled vigorously until it reached a recess before stopping.

Shu'er settled down, and only then did she see clearly that the person who was holding her tightly was Chu Qingfu.

Shu'er twisted her face away, angrily not looking at him, and tried to push him away.

Chu Qingfu covered her, using his body to block the wind and sand. No matter how she pushed, she didn't move.

Shu'er had no choice but to give up the struggle, slowly, close her eyes, and enjoy the peace in his arms.

The wind and sand are fierce, but Shu'er hopes that the wind and sand will not stop.

I don't know how long later, the wind gradually stopped, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, and the desert, which was still terrifying just now, turned into an incomparably beautiful still painting in the blink of an eye.

Under the moonlight, a couple of men and women embracing each other were reluctant to separate.

Shu'er looked at Chu Qingfu who was close at hand with a pair of bright eyes, and her hot breath hit his face.

In this situation, Chu Qingfu couldn't hold back any longer, he covered her lips, tossing and turning, as if he wanted to exhaust all his enthusiasm.

Shu'er stretched out her arms and slowly wrapped her arms around his waist.

Shu'er said in his ear: "Since you like me, why don't you take me away?" ”

Chu Qingfu gently brushed the sand off Shu'er's head with his hand and said, "If you treat me like this, I am willing to accompany you to the ends of the earth." However, if this affects my father's and mother's family, I am at ease. I hope you don't blame me. ”

Shu'er understood that he was not ruthless, but worried about the felony of destroying the door.

How can a man with responsibility and responsibility blame him?

Shu'er burst into tears and whispered, "I don't blame you. ”

Chu Qingfu choked up a little and said, "You must not be presumptuous. You have to live well, or I will be sad. ”

Shu'er was silent.

Chu Qingfu looked around and said, "The wind and sand have stopped, let's go back." And he wanted to get up.

Shu'er hugged him so tightly that he couldn't move. She looked at him intently and said, "I want to remember your appearance and never forget it for the rest of my life." ”

Chu Qingfu's nose was sour, and he hugged her hard.

Shu'er whispered in his ear, "You want me." ”

Chu Qingfu was taken aback, and immediately became enthusiastic. Under the moonlight, the woman who is brighter than the moonlight exudes a moving brilliance.

Shu'er looked at him eagerly and said, "Let me be your woman." Even if we never see each other again for the rest of our lives, I will remember your imprint. ”

Nephrite is full of warm fragrance, and it is difficult for any man to resist such words.

Chu Qingfu is also a man, and he is also difficult to restrain himself.

But he hesitated for a long time and said, "I can't." ”

Shu'er was surprised and said, "Still can't?" ”

Chu Qingfu said: "If the Hui Khan finds out that you are not a virgin, he will definitely embarrass you." I don't want you to suffer such grievances. ”

Shu'er sighed and said slowly, "Let's go back." ”

Three

Li Zhen, the envoy of the family, is anxiously looking for Shu'er everywhere.

A wind and sand, the loss of several horses, and a few people missing, other things are good to say, if you lose Shu'er, don't say that it is difficult to explain back to Su, the emperor is not easy to explain, even if you go back to see King Rong, you can't explain.

The niece is already pitiful enough, if she gives her life again, how can she be at ease.

Seeing Chu Qingfu walking with Shu'er from a distance, Li Zhen was overjoyed, and he thought thank God in his heart.

He took a few steps and asked, "Shu'er, are you okay?" ”

Shu'er said lightly: "Fortunately, the Chu guards protected me, otherwise, I would have died here." ”

Princess Ningguo was supported by her maid Bi'er, disgraced and frightened, and said, "It turns out that the wind can also kill." I knew that Hui was far away in this barren land, and I wouldn't come to say anything. ”

Rong Lan looked at Chu Qingfu lightly, and said without yin or yang: "What a hero to save beauty." ”

Shu'er ignored her and looked around for Qingmei.

Qingmei was slowly crawling out from under the carriage, with messy hair and a dusty face, like a gray mouse.

Princess Ning Guo looked at Qingmei, and then looked at herself, and she couldn't help but smile.

Li Zhen instructed the soldiers to quickly set up tents and camp on the spot.

The next day, the sky was clear, and we continued on our way.

After a few days, I finally got out of the desert area, and gradually appeared in the vast grasslands, magnificent mountains and winding rivers.

The sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

Everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed.

This is the territory of Huifu, that is, the place where it was sealed as the Hanhai Protectorate by the Tang Dynasty.

The territory of the Hui is very vast, and the areas around Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Gansu, as well as the vast areas from the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River to the Altai Mountains, are all the spheres of influence of the Uighurs.

This nomadic people who are good at riding and archery, although they are enshrined in the Tang Dynasty and attached to the Tang Dynasty, in fact, they already have enough strength to resist the Tang Empire.

This is also the reason why the Tang Emperor tried his best to envelop him.

The royal court of the Hui Dynasty was located in the capital city of Ha Thorn Ba Hesun in the Orkhon River Valley, where the water and grass were abundant and herds of livestock could be seen everywhere.

In the distance, the outline of the royal court became clearer and clearer.

Chu Qingfu's heart became lower and lower, and he knew that the time to separate from Shu'er was coming.

And this parting is a lifetime.
